Zapatistas

Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (EZLN), the Mexican Zapatista Movement, presents "a challenge to the entire Mexican political class, which they view as promoting the interests of large corporations at the expense of Mexico's workers and peasant farmers, and especially at the expense of the country's indigenous people. "The Zapatistas are fiercely critical of the turn toward free-market, free-trade policies on the part of Mexico's main political parties, the Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI), which ruled Mexico continually for more than 70 years, and the pro-business National Action Party (PAN), the current ruling party."

"We don't have relations with governments, whether they are good or bad" said spokesman Subcomandante Marcos in January 2006. "We have relations with the people."
